Kidney DPT cells have an activated and effector/central memory phenotype at baseline. A total of 1 × 106 KMNCs were stained with anti-CD45, TCR, CD4, CD8, CD69, PD1, CD62L and CD44 and intracellular Ki67 antibodies. Graphs showing the percentage of (A) CD69, (B) Ki67 and (C) PD1 positive kidney CD4, CD8, DN and DPT cells in normal mouse kidneys (n = 10). (D) CD62L and CD44 markers were used to identify basal levels of naïve (CD62L+CD44−), effector memory (EM; CD62L−CD44+) and central memory (CM; CD62L+CD44 +) CD4, CD8, DN and DPT cells in normal mouse kidneys (n = 10). Data are expressed as mean ± sem and compared by non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post-hoc analysis. * = P ≤ 0.05, ** = P ≤ 0.01, *** = P ≤ 0.001.
